To me that question sounds like it’s less about rights and more about it being unlikely that the UK wants to antagonize the US in a way to arrest a minor American X user.
Practically, yes, but that’s like doing tax fraud and getting away with it bc your income is low and they don’t bother with you. Would be nice to understand the actual legalities.
If you have a government pass overly broad laws that criminalize something and you are in a common law country that has prosecutorial discretion, the limits of a law are ill-defined. The court case where a court sets the limits and creates case law might not happen.
It might be easy to technically violate the Logan Act in your social media as it says:
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
But the Logan Act does not get enforced as it’s overly broad.
